I had about enough of Bob and Shawn Rays tactic and my next move is to write a formal letter to the IFBB in regards to the bashing and intimidation of fellow IFBB athletes. Bob you do not speak for me nor do you hiold any weight with me as of now. I am also going to ask that you be removed of this so called rep position. I for one saw and talked to Silvio at the NY. And i must saay you guys scared him and messed up his mental state for the pre judging. I also read Shawns text messages to Silvio stating that he could not help him with Wieder now. This bashing of other athletes has gone too far and it is going to stop I call IFBB pros to read this and make a statement regarding this issue. If this is deleting I will repost it.

Melvin-
Amazing how you come to this conclusion when I haven't had a conversation with you about any of the facts...I've posted many facts about this situation on various threads, apparently you haven't read any of them.
First off, I wasn't the one who brought it up to Silvio...and certainly not minutes before he was to go on stage.
When I seen Silvio back stage...he brought it up to ME, as he was very distraught about the situation...and I assured him that I would take care of the situation and to focus on the show...not to worry.
I've had conversation with Robin Chang about the incident as he was ready to dock Silvio a months pay...as this was already addressed by Robin To MILOS and Silvio. Milos was told, by Robin, that taking and posting pictures of Silvio on his website was a clear violation of the exclusive contract Silvio signed and to not do it again. Silvio was instructed that HE would be held accountable for future incidents....
I, acting on Silvio's behalf and with his permission...had a meeting with Robin and was able to avoid any pay deduction or any other repercussions.
Silvio has stated that Milos is NOT his manager and that he talked forhimself and himself only...
I received a call from Silvio this morning from Canada, thanking me for my help in the situation and saying that he would be moving on from Milos' gym as soon as he returns...
If you have a problem with Shawn and his handling of the situation, then take it up with Shawn...I had nothing to do with telling him anything. I came in AFTER he was told...by Shawn or anyone else.
I also have no part in anyting to do with Milos' seminar, or who's attending...I haven't talked with Silvio since he left his message this morning.
Don't let your friendship with Milos affect your judgement...I have no horse in this race, and have no vested interest in Silvio as I don't train him, manage him, or guide him in any way but as the IFBB representative and a friend.
Maybe you should look at all the facts before spouting off accusations which are clearly false, and without bothering to contact me personally....I guarantee you would get an eye opener when you know the REAL story.
I invite you to call me, or PM me on the matter...I'll PM my number to you if you don't have it.
